Wearing heels today....heelarious!!

I am wearing heels for the first time, during my pregnancy, today. We shall see how it works out for me, especially since I have been having problems in the leg department. haha!! I will give an update on how it goes! Luckily, they are low heels, no 4 inch stuff going on.

I had a great weekend with all of my girls in town visiting, it was soooo great to see them and for them to see this lovely belly of mine for the first time. I wish they lived here so we could visit ALL the time. Oh well, life takes you different places sometimes, but that's why you have to hold on to those friendships and hold tight.

Today I am going to church, this is the first Sunday we have woken up early enough, since I have been pregnant, to be able to go. It is well needed at this time. I have been missing it and I need it back in my life, it is important to me and makes me who I am.

Today is also the 3yr anniversary of my gma Ventresco's death so I will be going to the cemetery to visit her and the gpa. Oh how I miss them!!! I haven't been to the cemetery in about 2yrs, but remember them in my own way. Today I KNOW that I need to go visit the grave site. In honor of the grandparents here are a few of my favorite things each of them said, and this says a lot about their personalities and who they were: My grandma is saying this to me as she is holding a banana and rubberband "Here let me show you how to put a condom on a guy Vanessa". I don't know what the conversation was about when my grandpa said this: "Your grandma was one hard cherry to pop". They are such sick comments, but HEELARIOUS to think that they came from my grandparents mouths. LOVE AND MISS THEM!!!

Everyone have a great day and I will talk at you soon, PEACE;)

Elevating those legs

So my legs have been bothering me like crazy, they hurt when I sit, stand, whatever. So I have been trying to eleveate them as often as possible, drink plenty of water and sit as much as possible. Today I am running around with my little niece Ava, so I don't know how much sitting I will be doing, but I will have plenty of time to sit later.
This little babe is moving around like crazy these days, although not so much this morning, I think she is upset with all the noise going on around here. WE are getting a new garage put in and it's getting pretty load over here because of that. And just as I said that she started to move around, crazy little babe.
I am so excited because I have GREAT friends in town this weekend and I get to see them both. Lisa and Geoff are here tonight and coming over for a cookout, so I have some cooking to do today. And I get to see Britt tomorrow night. I CANT FREAKING WAIT!!! I haven't seen either of them in about 5-6 months and they have yet to see the ever growing belly in person. Stella gets to meet her aunties today and tomorrow, YAY!!!
Well, I have a little girl waiting to play with me, although she is pretty independent and definately into the dogs and locking them up in the cage and let me just say they are LOVING that.
Everyone have a great day and I will talk at you soon, PEACE;)

My homemade (Woof made it) halloween costume!!

I went to a baby shower today that was also a halloween contest. So, we went the cheap route and tried to put something together, or should I say, Woof did. He put this mask together so that it would fit around the belly, and yes those are dog collars that I bought that didn't fit the dogs, so he thought he would put them to good use. Looks pretty good, eh? Although I would've liked if we had friendlier pumpkin faces, I feel like we look like the devil pumpkins. Oh well! It was fun and funny to see myself in this lovely attire. I put a couple of before pics and a couple after pics!! Look at that beautiful artwork. Ok, well it's time to eat my homemade mashed potatoes and grilled hotdogs........YUMMMMM!!! Talk at you soon, PEACE;)

Dr's Appt

We had our checkup yesterday, andddddd everything looks good. My belly is measuring right on target and the babes heart beat sounds great!!!! Great news! NO ultrasound during this appointment, we won't have one for another 6 weeks so I think I am going to go and have the 3d/4d ultrasound done again....once we hit our 28 week mark. After our doctors appt we did our traditional lunch: FIVE GUYS, also know as, HEAVEN!!! Good eats, that's fo' sho!!!
We went and got our flu shots today, my doctor told me that it was a MUST that I get it by the end of the week so we went and did it as soon as I got off of work. Once she gets the vaccine for H1N1 in October I have to go back for that. This schtuff is freaking scarry, I wish it would all end, dang Panademic.
On a happy note, I am excited because the invitations to my next baby shower are being sent out, which means it will be here soon. I can't wait to see everyone.
Well Buckeyes will be playing soon and I need to sneak in a nap before it starts.....or else I won't be up for much of it. GOOOOOOO BUCKSSSSSSSS!!!!
Talk at you soon, PEACE;)
